Review confirms impaired cognition in prodromal psychosis Posted: 26 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients at high risk for psychosis show significant and widespread impairments in neurocognitive functioning and social cognition, results from a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies show.

Psychiatric inpatients have low vitamin D levels Posted: 26 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Results from a New Zealand study show that vitamin D deficiency is common in psychiatric inpatients, particularly among patients with schizophrenia and those of Maori descent.

Telemedicine could reduce admission rates Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with diabetes, heart failure, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have fewer emergency hospital admissions when receiving a telehealth intervention than their counterparts who receive usual care, say UK researchers.

Chronic kidney disease is major risk factor for future coronary events Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT People with chronic kidney disease have a 10-year risk for myocardial infarction of around 12%, report researchers who found that this was higher than that for people with diabetes.

Experts validate promising alternative to Framingham risk score for UK Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Researchers have validated an alternative model to the Framingham risk equation for the prediction of 10-year cardiovascular disease risk in the UK, they report in the BMJ.

Poor prognosis for heart transplant patients with restenosis Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Orthotopic heart transplant patients who develop in-stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention have a poor long-term prognosis, research suggests.

Telemedicine could reduce admission rates Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with diabetes, heart failure, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have fewer emergency hospital admissions when receiving a telehealth intervention than their counterparts who receive usual care, say UK researchers.

Chronic kidney disease is major risk factor for future coronary events Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT People with chronic kidney disease have a 10-year risk for myocardial infarction of around 12%, report researchers who found that this was higher than that for people with diabetes.

Majority of rhinovirus infections are asymptomatic Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Asymptomatic human rhinovirus infections outnumber symptomatic infections by a factor of four to one, Canadian researchers report.

Exercise-induced metabolic improvement not caused by just adipose change Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT The improvements in metabolic parameters that are achieved with increased physical activity are unlikely to be due to functional changes in adipose tissue alone, report researchers.

Molecular determinant of implantation success uncovered Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT A signaling sequence initiated by the embryo and hinging on the epithelial Na+ channel leads to successful implantation, researchers report in Nature Medicine.

Liability for schizophrenia linked to cognition in mood disorders Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Schizotypal traits and genetic liability for schizophrenia are associated with reduced cognitive functioning in patients with mood disorders, Japanese study results show.

Genetic risk for schizophrenia linked to brain volume alterations Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with schizophrenia and their unaffected first-degree relatives show altered gray and white matter volumes in specific brain regions compared with mentally healthy individuals, researchers report.

Telemedicine could reduce admission rates Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Patients with diabetes, heart failure, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have fewer emergency hospital admissions when receiving a telehealth intervention than their counterparts who receive usual care, say UK researchers.

Majority of rhinovirus infections are asymptomatic Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Asymptomatic human rhinovirus infections outnumber symptomatic infections by a factor of four to one, Canadian researchers report.

Poor prognosis for heart transplant patients with restenosis Posted: 25 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Orthotopic heart transplant patients who develop in-stent restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention have a poor long-term prognosis, research suggests.

Turn down the volume to improve heart health Posted: 24 Jun 2012 05:00 PM PDT Individuals who live in an area that is exposed to high road traffic noise have a significantly increased risk for myocardial infarction (MI), researchers suggest.
